Pripyat is quiet

["jtudor2005" jtudor2005]

I'm sitting in an apartment in Kiev having just returned from Chernobyl & P=
ripyat. I can't remember the last time I was somewhere so quiet. For some t=
ime there was nothing but the breese in the abundant trees. But on occasion=
 a solitary bird could be heard. I tried to grab some recordings but our gu=
ide/minder had a persistent cough. And also a bomb for a car. Two hours eac=
h way in unusually hot weather, crambed into a tiny car that broke down twi=
ce. I'll see if I have any usable sound when I return to Australian in week=
. What I find interesting is that we were taking photographs of the reactor=
 #4 that exploded in 1986, from only about 300 metres away. I'll post what =
I can next week.
